Try this steps:

    dim fld as Vfield
    dim ushort_fld as VUShort
    

    fld = my_cursor.field("VSize")  // must be NOT nill

    ushort_fld = Vushort( fld ) // this type cast it to correct class
                                // result must be NOT nill

    now you can do 

    z = ushort_fld.value

Or 

    ushort_fld.value = z
